This is the place I post thoughts about all manner of things... artful monologues, disjointed ramblings, personal issues, overly analytical diatribes, highly organized ruminations, stream of consciousness free association and an occasional poem…

All week I've been on the lookout for bee and butterflies... A few butterflies have been sighted - and lo! Yesterday I finally saw one - just one - honeybee. I was actually tempted to stake out the clover and follow that bee, but I had places to be myself... (sorry, couldn't resist...)

I spent my day off finishing two small paintings for the upcoming Sautee show, and then got a call from a shop that sells my things to come touch up a desk that had sold. I promptly lost my mind and forgot to photograph the paintings before I delivered them. What a dolt.

I'm so happy about seeing that bee that I just have to post happy photos. Here's one of my daylily plantings.

These are near a small pond and very happy.

And here is one very shy Monarch. This was taken with my feeble telephoto before he disappeared.

About Me

Artist: I'm mostly a painter of colorful and expressive pieces, but I don't hold myself to any one medium. I love collage and mixed media and find joy in every genre of art from realism to conceptualism. Though my means are modest, I am enriched by all that is around me.

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it. ~Abraham Lincoln

We have enslaved the rest of the animal creation, and have treated our distant cousins in fur and feathers so badly that beyond doubt, if they were able to formulate a religion, they would depict the Devil in human form. ~William Ralph Inge, Outspoken Essays, 1922

As you work, the mood grows on you. There are certain images which suddenly get hold of me and I really want to do them. But it's true to say that the excitement and possibilities are in the working and obviously can only come in the working. - Francis Bacon
